A cordless drill is probably the last thing you'd imagine being useful in a kitchen, but over on Make Projects, DIYer Jason Poel Smith shows off how to use a drill to quickly clean dirty pans, as a mixer, cheese grater, and pepper mill attachment.

While a cordless drill might not seem practical for everyday use, it certainly works in a pinch. As a mixer, all you have to do is attach your whisk and you're good to go. For dish scrubbing, you need to drill a hole in a large binder clip to create a clamp for the dish sponge, and then attach it to the drill with a nut and bolt. While a power drill in the kitchen is certainly a bit overkill, it's still a fun way to spice up your cooking, or will work great in a pinch when your mixer is broken. Check out the full post on Make Projects for guides for each usage.
